How to Return LiveData from Repository

Question

I just can\'t see how to chain LiveData from Repo to VM, so I have tried to boil this down to the most simple of example!:

Fragment

Answer 1

You're changing mCurrentName (the LiveData variable itself as opposed to it's contents) after you start observing it. The guidance seems to be to not use LiveData in Repository layer (use Coroutines/Flow instead for example)....but for now you could have something like following (or perhaps use one of the LiveData Transformations)

private val mCurrentName = firestoreRepository.currentName()

fun changeText(){
    firestoreRepository.changeText()
}
